Guides

Thank you for your interest in guiding at the Ninth Annual OneShot Turkey Hunt, to be held in Richmond April 19, 2025. If selected, you’re expected to be an experienced turkey hunter and caller, with good woodsmanship, and a commitment to maximize opportunity for hunter success and safety.

We will be hosting two events that will need your attendance.

  • On Thursday, April 10, 5–7pm, we will be hosting a Guides’ Dinner at Bass Pro Shops in Ashland, VA. At this meeting you will receive information about your hunter, the property on which you will be guiding, and other information critical to the success of not only your hunt, but also the One Shot.
  • On Friday, April 18, 5–7pm you and your hunter will meet at Bass Pro Shops in Ashland to plan your next day’s hunt.

These two events are not only a lot of fun, but are crucial to creating a great experience for the hunters. We ask that if you are not able to commit to attending both of these events, you consider reapplying as a guide next year. Selected guides cannot carry a gun on this hunt.

Please complete the information below to start the process. You will receive confirmation when this form is submitted and we will contact you concerning the next steps. You will be required to sign a liability waiver form. Proceeds from the 2025 Old Dominion One Shot Turkey Hunt will be used to promote hunting opportunities across Virginia through the Wildlife Foundation of Virginia and the Department of Wildlife Resources.
